In the Spotlight: Science Scholarship as Public Conversation by Susan Thomas https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9 Who do we turn to for authority about Coronavirus and COVID-19? Where are we getting our information? Why is there disagreement among scientists? Is science ever partisan? en-us 2020-08-27 16:59:16 UTC 2020-09-03 16:39:19 UTC hello@padlet.com Group 6 soccerposeur https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9/wish/703121462 2020-08-27 16:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9/wish/703121462 Group 5 soccerposeur https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9/wish/703121464 2020-08-27 16:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9/wish/703121464 Group 4 soccerposeur https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9/wish/703121465 2020-08-27 16:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9/wish/703121465 Group 3 soccerposeur https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9/wish/703121467 2020-08-27 16:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9/wish/703121467 Group 2 soccerposeur https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9/wish/703121469 2020-08-27 16:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9/wish/703121469 Group 1 soccerposeur https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9/wish/703121471 2020-08-27 16:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9/wish/703121471 The Scientific Conversation about COVID-19 is Happening in Popular Media soccerposeur https://padlet.com/soccerposeur/a6cvab863j55zyy9/wish/703121473 Research topics in college aren't usually a matter of life and death. Even when they are, e.g. climate change or the opiod crisis, they still seem abstract. 

Most of us aren't moved to act or learn unless we are personally involved (a friend overdosed, for example). A pandemic grabs everyone's attention, for the most part. 

The scholarship/ research about how to treat COVID-19  becomes compelling to everyone.  We all become "citizen journalists," a role that requires highly developed "information literacy" skills. (That's why journalists earn degrees!)  We all generally wants answers in seconds, not even minutes, but true literacy and deep knowledge requires long-form reading and also critical thinking. We may be shocked to learn that scientists and doctors disagree with each other, or even with the WHO or CDC. Who is right? Also, has science become partisan?
